A CLEAR CASE OF BULL DOING. -
Last Thursday the corporation election
was held in Harrisonburg. Everything
progressed harmoniously until along TO-
wards evening the crowd about the Court
house was stirred to its centre Among
the converts to Democracy was colored
man who was the proud possessor of an
ebony G3antippe. She was not ouly en-
dowed with g notorious temper, but also
considerable muscular power and great
love for Republicanism. When the apos-
tasy of her husband was reported to her,
she started opt On the war path. En-
countering the object of her wrath under
the very eyes of the temple of justice, she
commenced regular tattoo on his face,
head and back. Each blow was empha-
sized with vigorous English and loud ap-
plause by the lookers-on. Above the din
could be heard the woman's voice: EFF
you don't git dat thing outer dat box I'll
kill you.' "I'll beat you to def" she
criea. in vain the poor fellow tried to
explain that the ballot boz, was Inviolate,
and his ticket could not be gotten out.
She would accept no excuse and kept up
the entertainment until finally the police
interfered and quiet was restored. Itwas
a case of bull-dozing that would not be
hard to prove.

American Medical Students Abroad,

There are comparately few American
students Of medicine now in Paris. Those

them in succession As students and grad.

A POETS VISION.

Day follows day; years perish: still mine eyes
Are opened on the self same round of space;
Yon fateless forests ia their Titan grace,
And the large splendors of those opulenb skies
watch unwearied the miraculous dyes
Of dawn or sunset; the soft boughs which lace
Round some coy dryad in lonely place,
Thrilled with low whispering and strange sylvan
signs;
Weary the poets mind is fresh as dew,
And oft reiIled as fountains of the light.
His clear child's soul finds something sweet and
new
Even in a weeds heart, the curved leaves Of corn,
The spear like grass, the silvery rhine OF morn,
A cloud rose edged and fleeing stars at night

THE JACKSON TRAGEDY.

Has been so we'll and fully discussed
by the daily press that We deem it IN
necessary to mention it as a matter of
news. The attitude of the press on
the situation, as we'll as the public SEN
timent of the country, is widely at
variance. The published testimony,
so far, though exparte, makes out Il
bad case for Col. Hamilton, whose
friends everywhere hope to see him
vindicated of so foul Il crime as claimed
by the prosecution, when testimony is
taken for the defense. The position of
those papers who have constituted
themselves as counsel, court and jury
for the prosecution is wholly unwar-
ranted at this juncture, while those on
the othsr side are equally disgusting
in the suppression of the testimony in
the case aud trying to defend Col.
Hamilton. The whole affair grew out
of intolerant newspaper articles, which
could have been made mitder and
answered the same purpose, aud while
we did not approve the conrse Of the
paper in its assault on Col. Hamilton,
If it should be clearly proven that the
Colonel and his employees surrounded
aud murdered the young man. we
want to see him made TO answer to the
law for his crime, and in common
with all the good citizens deeply de.
plCre the sad trngedy.-Gr eenrMs Re

THE NEW ORLEANS STATES TO THE
RESCUE.


there appeared a long, labored and dull
article in defense of the Rutland grab.
The States is loud in singing its own
praises as the champion of the peoples
rights, but it is a noteworthy fact that
the STATES is constrained 10 champion
and uphold the present administration
whenever job is unearthed. Judging
by the logic Of the States we can ac-
count for its attitude upon no other
ground than that this is Democratic
administration and that the hands of IA
Democratic administration should be
upheld whether right or wrong. III
handling the subject matter under dig
cussion the States affects paternai,
fraternizing style towards its Demo-
cratic contemporaries who rightfuiiy
aud conscientiousiy condemn this
outrage and then proceeds to give them
two columns and half of trite in-
formation that the editor of the States
oniy learned since the exposure Of
RutIand's speculation
But we have no fault to find with
the States exposition of the law SO far
as it goes. The trouble is it does not
go far enough and We respectfully sub
NIT that the case involves both ques-
tions of law and fact which the States
totally ignores.
Under the law whose duty was il to
collect and disburse the interest COL
lected by Rutland? II il was the duty
of State officials was the employment
OF lawyer necessary and can 1t be
defended Have the school boards any
right In law to make such contracts as
entered into with Rutland? If they
have not cannot the contracts be an
nnlled and the money recovered? II
SO is il not the duty Of the proper Off
Gals 10 proceed TO do so?
The Telegraph is perfectly willing TO
submit the case to that high tribune,
the sovereign people, upon plain
answer, without any circumlocu.ion, to
these questions.
After answering these questions the
States can also combat the following
position the Telegraph assumes with
out hesitation That the State Board
of Education and the Governor are as
much responsible as the Superintendent
of Public Education or the Auditor.
The Parish School Boards, whose
Ignorance have cost the children SO
grievously are appointees of the Gov
lernor.
All tho elaborate and fuc-spun 80
phistry that the States can bring to
bear cannot shake the fact, we'll i'm
pressed upon the minds Of the people,
that the State holds these funds as q
.foucia,y and that the treason to the
trust contided to the State is one of the
saddest chapters in Louisiana's history
